lyrics

Three cheers for the cops, three cheers for the cops
They keep us alive, they keep our cities safe
White, Latino, or black, they treat you just the same
So three cheers for the cops. Hip, hip, hooray!

And all my gay and trans friends also know there is no end
To a cop's love, a cop is your best friend
So three cheers for the cops, they've come to save the day
Three cheers for the cops. Hip, hip, hooray!

Last spring in Cleveland, they shot a man on West 6th
Though he committed no crime, you know he probably deserved it
Back in '10 in Detroit, they shot a little girl while she slept,
Patted themselves on the back while her grandmother stood there and wept
So three cheers for the cops, they've come to save the day
Three cheers for the cops. Hip, hip, hooray!

On Monday May 12, 2014
Pierce County, Washington Sheriff's Deputies
They murdered a man, while he shouted "Help, call the police!"
With nothing but there batons and their egos and a false sense of authority
So three cheers for the cops, they serve and protect you and me
Three cheers for the cops, thank God for police!

Three cheers for the Seattle Police
Three cheers for the CHP
Three cheers for the Alameda County Sheriff's Department
Three cheers for the NYPD
Three cheers for the Cleveland Police
Three cheers for the cops
Hip, hip, hooray!

Take It Easy (Reissued)
by Destroy Nate Allen

Destroy Nate Allen is great folk punk from Portland. DNA is Nate Allen and his wife Tessa. They tour the US every summer, doing fun, interactive singalongs that punch expectations in the throat. Joshua Stephens

Alcohol & Isolation
by Three Ninjas

Three Ninjas has a hillbilly heart of something close to gold. Lead? Bourbon? It used to be gold but then it got broken. Now he makes sad country songs. They are good. Joshua Stephens

A Life In Transit
by Nathan Leigh

New York City's Nathan Leigh makes great diy off-beat folk music. A life in transit is a lovely album about how expectations never quite pan out how you expected. Check out "The Glamorous Life." Joshua Stephens
